Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the pink-to-white color-change feature for eliminating guesswork about drying time, and many highlight smooth application and low dust during sanding. Most report excellent results for small repairs and beginner projects, with several achieving professional finishes using thin coats. However, a substantial group reports serious adhesion problems, particularly when bedding joint tape, with tape failing to stick or peeling off. Many also experienced drying delays exceeding 24 hours and excessive shrinkage. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find the color-change feature invaluable for DIY work.

Easy to use.
Would RecommendWe are doing a remodel for our half bath. We needed to do alot of drywall repair. We had to fix holes and in few spots we had to replace entire sections of drywall. The joint compound rely does a great job of helping to mask the damage. Its low dust so when you are sanding in between coats its not as dusty.

Good product. Will continue to use
Would RecommendWorks well. The color changing aspect is helpful. Probably not necessary for those that are very experienced. Beyond that I like the texture. It's easy to apply and easy to work with.

Garbage
Would Not RecommendThis is the worst drywall compound I have ever used. It’s costing more time, money and sanity. I basically need to sand it all off and start over with a new bucket of a different brand. Off to the store again!

Pink Works But Not Very Easy To Use
Would Not RecommendThe colorant does indicate when product is dry. However, the product is gummy-like, does not adhere well to a dry surface, and doesn’t feather very well
